    Everything the Trump cult does is to cut off our balls. From citizens turning on each other to wasting our military power on a Middle Eastern country because our Middle Eastern twin can’t share the goddamn sandbox.

    Trump is a Russian spy through and through. He is doing everything to make sure there is no America to stand up against the Russian Behemoth.

    Thank God for the willpower and cunning determination of the Ukrainian people and all those who went their of their own accord on the behalf of Ukraine. We are truly living in the days of a few heroes and many villains.

      What the fuck are you talking about? Russia’s military budget is a tiny tiny fraction of the USA. What fucking behemoth? I thought Russia was completely incapable of invading even it’s neighbor and losing thousands of soldiers and day and having to recruit foreigners. What Russian behemoth?!

        Comparing budgets (and thinking that this meant something) is a very, very Usamerican mistake.

          Russia has 1 aircraft carrier that’s been in dry dock for a decade.

          The US has 300% more military aircraft.

          Russia has about 10 foreign military bases. The US has almost 800.

          Russia has 25% more tanks.

          They’re about equal in number of active duty. US has more reserve.

          The US Navy is significantly larger than Russia’s.

            That’s a lot better, comparing actual things rather than abstractions. But there is still some bias. For example, you looked only at things that Usa has, and ignored things that Russia has but Usa hasn’t.

              Like more nukes? Like more artillery? Can’t invade with nukes. Artillery can’t protect long supply chains across vast flat territory when your opponent has HIMARS and triple the air power.

      Everything the Trump cult does is to cut off our balls.

      You know, there are ways of undermining US socio-economic hegemony without killing millions of people.

      I’ll never get the BlueMAGA head who looks at American GOP-lead fascism and insists that the real victims of it are Americans.

      This, while we’ve got multiple genocides occurring on our watch.

      Absolutely sickening.

      If Trump is the cause of America’s destruction, perhaps its deserved. He’s not an agent of Putin, he’s an agent of Karma

      When I was growing up, there was a super hero named underdog. Now, I haven’t seen any reboots, or anything like that. So for anyone who’s never seen underdog, imagine one of those kids cartoons where animals are people. Dogs walking just on their back legs. That sort of thing.

      Well underdog is a regular timid guy, who just seems like an accountant.

      And then some danger happens, and he runs into a phone booth, superman style, and comes out as underdog.

      Basically, imagine millhouse from the simpsons as a superhero.
